Intimacy would have been a good name for Bloc Party’s previous album A Weekend in the City, which was so vulnerable and confessional, it often felt like barely edited diary entries set to music. The album’s take on 21st century life and love was heavy listening in large part because it felt so personal. Bloc [...] ...

Junior year for Bloc Party proves breakups produce convoluted albums. You can all blame Radiohead for this. Ever since they, admittedly fairly arbitrarily, decided to give their last album In Rainbows away for free, everyone wants to do something to shake the record industry. Take England’s Bloc Party for instance. Just over a year following their penultimate album, 2007’s A Weekend in the City they... ... Source: www.isnare.com --- 32 days ago

Feature Story: Gay liberation was a product of its times. Its birth at the end of the '60s was no accident. By the time street queens and others rioted outside the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in late June, 1969, the groundwork had been laid for one of America's most despised minorities to get militant. Gay Liberation Front Social change was in the air. The civil-rights movement had succeeded in passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The Black Panthers, a militant black-power group, were feeding poor people and developing a strategy for black self-empowerment -- not to mention having run-ins with the police. The women's movement had been reborn from the embers left by the struggle to gain the vote half a century before. The anti-Vietnam War movement was beginning to draw huge numbers of protesters into the streets. Campuses were igniting with student strikes and takeovers of administration offices. ...more ...

I have made no secret of my disdain (or perhaps apathy is a better word) for the last Bloc Party album " A Weekend in the City". Maybe it's because "Silent Alarm" was so good and so polished for a debut that I raised the bar on the band too high. Maybe it was that I had a poor digital download of the album which made the nuances harder to appreciate. Maybe the darker feel wasn't where I was at the time, but the whole album left me wanting more. Anyone can see these guys could very well be a great band and make great music for a long time. But with the surprise release of their third album "Intimacy" we might be seeing a full fledged band emerge with the kind of adventurous spirit of RADIOHEAD or U2. "Intimacy" a record that is all over the place. The lead single, the horn and back beat infected "Mercury" recalls early CURE with it's cacophony of sounds and lyrical nonsense. "Ares" has the feel of an anti-war rant (still digesting the lyrics) when it suddenly softens in the middle. "Halo" could be a Silent Alarm outtake with it's driving guitar/bass combo. But it's when the band unleashes "Biko" that we see something totally different. Here the band writes the closest thing they have to a ballad but full of longing and suffering that makes it an extraordinary listen. The second half of the album has an anthemic feel of a band writing for arenas and large concert venues. Clearly the band has big ideas of it's mind for the immediate futur ...
